Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. Says Teach Kids to Care
Helping
stray, abused, abandoned, and neglected animals in our community is our
number-one goal. But rescuing, sheltering, and adopting animals isn’t
enough. We also need to teach our youngest citizens the basics of
responsible pet care and the value of treating people and animals with
kindness and respect. That’s why your support for our Adopt-a-Classroom
program is so vital.
Animal
Protection Coalition, Inc. is seeking businesses, civic groups, and
individuals to adopt classrooms in Frankfort, Indiana and Lafayette,
Indiana. The Adopt-a-Classroom program teaches elementary school children to
treat people, animals, and the environment with kindness and respect.
Each $30
tax-deductible contribution made to Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. for
the Adopt-a-Classroom provides a K-6 teacher and his or her class with a
subscription to KIND News. The classroom newspaper features articles,
activities, puzzles, and celebrity interviews that emphasize the importance
of kindness and help children put basic values like compassion,
responsibility, and respect into practice.
A
subscription to KIND (Kids In Nature's Defense) News includes 9 monthly
issues, September through May. Each issue comes with 32 copies of the
newspaper and a teacher's guide. Teachers also receive KIND Teacher, a
resource book of reproducible worksheets and other materials to reinforce
lessons on responsible pet care, wildlife, and environmental stewardship.
Highly
acclaimed by thousands of teachers nationwide, KIND News has received
numerous awards for educational and editorial excellence. Animal Protection
Coalition, Inc. hopes to provide this valuable character education tool to
as many as 300 classrooms in Frankfort, Lafayette, and West Lafayette.
Donors
may select a specific classroom to receive KIND News, or Animal Protection
Coalition, Inc. can make the selection from their list of classrooms waiting
to be adopted.
